Of the eight policy priorities, all except the first — supporting the UNF proposal — are current legislative priorities that commissioners decided to keep on the list. At Commissioner David Sullivan's urging, commissioners decided to move the priority concerning support for home rule up from the bottom of the list: As it was originally presented, "Continue to support home rule" was listed as priority number eight; the commissioners opted to make it number six.
Of the three funding priorities, two — sewer collections on the northern barrier island, and flooding and environmental mitigation on the west side — are returning, while the third, a request for $3.7 million for the hardening and enhancement of the county's Emergency Operations Center, is new this year.
